作法
- 將雞肉以kecap manis、蒜末、紅蔥頭、芫荽粉、孜然粉、油與鹽醃漬至少30分鐘，最理想為2小時。
- 製作花生醬：用2大匙油將紅蔥頭、蒜頭與辣椒炒5分鐘至軟化。與花生、棕櫚糖、kecap manis、羅望子和水一同打成濃稠的褐色醬汁。
- 將打好的醬汁倒入鍋中。中火燉煮8分鐘並持續攪拌，直到顏色變深、油脂浮上表面。醬汁應能附著在湯匙背面——太稠則加水稀釋。以棕櫚糖或羅望子調整味道平衡。
- 將醃漬好的雞肉串到泡過水的竹籤上——每串約4塊肉，緊密相靠。剩下的醃料保留作刷醬。
- 於滾燙的炭火上（或極熱的橫紋鍋）每面烤2.5分鐘，途中刷上剩下的醃料。kecap manis會焦糖化，使表面呈深紅褐色，邊緣應有局部焦黑。
- 將烤串堆疊於盤上。花生醬另以小碗盛裝，搭配lontong（壓緊的米糕）或白飯、生紅蔥頭片與小黃瓜片。有些人會直接將花生醬淋上，有些人則蘸食。

文化背景
雞肉沙嗲與爪哇島東邊的馬都拉島關係最密切，馬都拉沙嗲攤販已成為印尼乃至海外華僑社區中的全國品牌。各地花生醬比例不同：馬都拉糖多、泗水酸度較高、巴東會研入kerisik（烘烤椰絲）。攤販的招牌動作是手持長竹片扇搧動炭火——「呼呼」聲就是攤車工作時的標誌音響。
